Supreme Court refuses to take Kimberly Craven's Cobell appeal

Without comment, the justices declined a petition filed by
Kimberly Craven, a member of the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate, according to an order list.
That leaves just one appeal remaining before
the payments can go out to Indian Country.

"We're going to be ready to hit the ground running as soon as the Supreme Court makes a decision," Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said in an interview last week with Indianz.Com.

The second petition, filed by Charles Colombe, Carol Eve Good Bear and Mary Lee Johns, is due for consideration on November 9, according to Docket
No. 12-355.
Given the action on Craven, the Supreme Court will likely deny the appeal in an order on November 12.
